High Standards for Elevated Health

High Standards for Elevated Health: ADG sets the bar with the highest standards in design and construction, following The International Living Future Institute’s Living Building Challenge. This gold standard in building and community health emphasizes toxin-free materials, net-zero energy, and early community engagement. Whether designing modern or contemporary homes, ADG ensures that every aspect, from construction to interior design, meets these rigorous criteria.

 

Buildings don’t have to be burdens with the Living Building Challenge

What we do

  • Empty bar or restaurant interior with brick walls, wooden floors, multiple tables and black chairs, neon signs on the walls, and a long bar counter with beer taps.

    Tap Room, Superior, WI

    A retrofit of an existing brick building in Superior, WI, we specified low-and-zero VOC paints and sealants for both new and existing elements. Over 75% of the building was saved and much of the new wood was reclaimed from local sources, keeping the environmental impact low and giving customers a clean, healthy space. This project was completed in partnership with Brick and Mortar Design (Duluth, MN).

  • Roseville Kitchen & Bath

    A kitchen and bath remodel using ~90% Red-List Free materials - formaldehyde-free plywood, zero-voc & plastic -free sealer, and zero-toxin counters and tile.

Modern kitchen with light wood cabinets, black marble countertops, black appliances, and a kitchen island with white upholstered chairs. Pendant lights hanging above the island, window with greenery outside, and wooden paneling on one wall.
